Too Many Questions

Naomi and Rico headed back to the hotel. The Aldens went to the food court. There they could sit at a table and make plans. Benny ran ahead and greeted one of the waiter robots. “Hello! Do you have ice cream?”

“Good morning,” the robot said. “I have several flavors of ice cream.” The robot turned to face Benny. “It is early in the day for ice cream. How about some healthy fruit?”

“It’s never too early for ice cream!” said Benny. “But I like fruit too.” He turned to his brother and sisters. “Can we share some fruit salad?”

“Order two servings,” said Henry. “One for you and one for the rest of us.” Henry paid the robot.

They sat down at an empty table. As they waited, a robot rolled by with a tray of lunch food.

“We could have had burgers!” said Benny.

Jessie ignored him and took out her laptop. “I’ll make notes of everything we know so far,” she said.

“We have a lot of questions,” said Henry. “We still have not seen Coach Kaleka.”

“Do you think something happened to him?” Violet asked.

“He said he would stay at the same hotel as us,” said Jessie. “But he’s not there, and he isn’t answering his phone. Maybe the school knows where he is.”

“But today is Saturday,” Henry said. “No one will be at the school.”

Their robot waiter dropped off their fruit salads. Benny dug into his. Violet took a few bites from the second container and then passed it to Jessie. Violet said, “You have been working with this coach for a while now. Is it like him to be so late?”

“He is pretty disorganized,” said Henry.

“He was often late to our after-school meetings,” said Jessie. “His classroom is on the other side of the school. I thought he was late because it took a long time to walk that far.”
